Primark, Currys and Boohoo have criticised government for 2029 deadline to phase out exemption on customs duties
British retailers including Primark, Currys and Boohoo have criticised the government for waiting until 2029 to end a tax break on low value imported goods which has allowed them to be undercut by the likes of Shein and Temu.
The British Retail Consortium, which represents all the major retailers, said there were now 1.6m parcels arriving in the UK every day, double the number from last year, and “businesses cannot afford any delay on scrapping the existing rules”.
